About

At its core, my work is about exploring identity, belonging, and the layered experiences that shape who we are—especially through the lens of Black womanhood. Much of what I create is influenced by my personal story: from growing up with instability to navigating moments of deep loss and self-discovery. These experiences have led me to reflect on what it means to belong, to have faith, and to be resilient. Through mixed media, textiles, and photography, I bring together both personal memories and shared histories, creating work that invites reflection and challenges perception. Each stitch, dye, and mark becomes part of a conversation—between past and present, visibility and invisibility, strength and vulnerability.

I create with materials that hold meaning. Using fabric, thread, natural dyes, and found objects, I build layered, tactile works that encourage people to not just look, but also feel. I often use plant dyes made from food waste and leaves I’ve gathered from my surroundings—connecting my practice to nature, memory, and transformation. Fabric carries stories, thread connects ideas, and each material I choose has a role in telling the story. I’m drawn to traditional techniques because they honor the hands and histories of those who came before me, and they require patience—much like the journey of self-discovery.

In the studio, I work with a balance of research and intuition. Some parts of my process are structured, like cyanotype printing, while others—like natural dyeing—invite surprise and experimentation. I’m inspired by artists like Mickalene Thomas, Bisa Butler, Faith Ringgold, and Georgia O’Keeffe, as well as by archival photos, old textiles, and everyday moments of beauty and resilience I see in Black womanhood.

As a vital extension of my practice, I also host creative workshops. These are welcoming spaces where people can slow down, explore their creativity, and tell their own stories through mark-making, color, and texture. They’re not just about learning technique—they’re about connecting through art.

In the end, my work is about connection. It’s a conversation between generations, a bridge between cultures, and between people. It’s about honoring the stories we carry and making space for new ones to be shared. As my practice grows, I hope to build more immersive experiences that invite people in—not just as viewers, but as participants. I believe art can help us see each other more clearly, heal, and to hold space for beauty, struggle, and everything in between. 

Jasmine Monet Davis is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose practice bridges textiles, photography, natural dyeing, and mixed media to delve into the complexities of identity, belonging and culture through the lens of her Black womanhood. Having lived in the U.S., Australia, and now Spain, her travels, cultural immersion, and deep commitment to storytelling shaped her artistic journey. 

With a career background in marketing and public relations, Jasmine transitioned into full-time artistry to pursue a lifelong creative calling after the profound loss of her brother and a near-fatal pulmonary embolism, experiences that reshaped her understanding of life’s fragility and solidified her commitment to creative expression. Art, for Jasmine, became a tool for healing, transformation, and personal joy. 

Her work merges traditional and contemporary techniques, incorporating natural dye pigments, embroidery, and cyanotype printing alongside her photography practice. Whether capturing fleeting moments in street and portrait photography or layering textures in textile-based work, she seeks to create art that invites reflection and dialogue and inspires creativity. 

Her work appears in personal and commercial projects, demonstrating her skill in navigating diverse artistic avenues while preserving an authentic and deeply personal approach.
